It is tough NOW. So how are we coping

not all houses in England have meters -- I do now, but at my last house it was a fixed price (based on value of property like the CT). And my parents (who live 3 streets from my last house) still pay that way as their house was built around 1980 (pre meters) and they've not asked to have one installed -- though I'm sure it would be cheaper for them, as they have a large house for just one couple.

well I have ordered dried hops and lavender, so now I will set to and make some sleep pillows to slip in between the pillow and pillow case. One for dh and one for me and some for christmas presents to go in the £10 hampers

Ours is like Mardatha's - taken with the CT by the coonsel. I vaguely remember having this conversation wth M before! Has the advantage of only feeling the pain once with the CT bill and not two bills, but it can be a nightmare for people who have septic tanks and own water supplies etc to sort out, a they have to fight to get it removed from their CT bill.

No snow here but then there rarely is. Wouldn't mind too much - cosied up at home with DS2 and his chicken pox for day six... :eek:

Torrential rain here, snow for later. Just when the first lambs arrive and when we start to think its all over... Whose's turn is it to make the tea ?

Just boiled the kettle Mardatha, so that'll be me then! Anyone want a hobnob?

Just had a text from dd2, she's away on an activity trip for a few days with the school, apparently she had a great chicken dish last night and has wangled the recipe from the cook! She says it's simple and cheap - that's my girl lol!
